Latidos Podencos

Gules: a warren hound parado statant Or; a base hearty Or.

Gules: a warren hound parado statant Or; a base hearty Or.

Escudo de gules: un podenco parado de oro; la campaña encajada de corazones de oro.

Coat of arms that I have created with: the shield’s shape pointed and rounded; its field painted in flat tint gules; the warren hound and the base hearty are illuminated Or and delineated Sable; and the whole is executed in raised-line drawing.

Symbolism

A base made of generous hearts Or, interlocked with hearts Gules, red as blood, gives its support to a Spanish warren hound standing upon it. They are the hearts of those who love, protect and care for the hounds, intertwined with the hearts of the hounds whose noble heartbeats are evoked in the motto.

The founders of this Spanish warren hound shelter did not wish for a dog armed and langued, since those heraldic attributes would imply that the animal is not truly in need of protection. They preferred instead to highlight the podenco’s loyalty and faithfulness.

Types of lines of division

In English heraldry, ordinary lines of partition such as «almenado» ~ «embattled», «acanalado» ~ «invected», or «angrelado» ~ «engrailed» have well-established names. There is, however, no general rule for blazoning lines formed by repeated and more elaborate figures, such as fir trees, fleurs de lis, or other shapes.

Each case tends to receive a descriptive or newly coined term, such as «sapiné» or «flory» «flory counterflory», in these last two cases depending on whether the figures all point in one direction or alternate upward and downward.

Note that in «sapiné» the charm lies precisely in that alternation: the fir trees point alternately upward and downward, so that the figures interlock with each other.

Therefore, if a new figure appears, such as the heart in this case, with hearts pointing upward, one might say «hearty» or, more specifically, «hearty counterhearty»; but following the example of «sapiné», we shall simply blazon «hearty».

For example, the line formed by dovetail shapes, called «dovetailed» in English, is blazoned in Spanish as «encajada de colas de milano», even changing the name of the bird. Note that in this case they interlock precisely because some point upward and others downward, hence their use in joinery, cabinetry, and related arts.

In Spanish there are classical terms for the most common forms, such as «almenado», «acanalado» or «angrelado», with «encajado» ~ «dancetty» being perhaps the most characteristic, where the angles interlock alternately upward and downward.

When facing new or uncommon shapes, instead of inventing a new term we prefer to use the basic one, «encajado», adding afterwards the specific figure that forms the interlock, for example, «encajado de abetos» ~ «sapiné».

Thus, in this case we blazon «the base hearty», with the hearts alternating upward and downward, just as in the traditional «encajado» the angles alternate both ways.

Norsk Heraldisk Forening

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, 2 axes with escutcheon Or at the nombril

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, in English, Nordic Heraldry Society, was founded on February 27, 1969, at the National Archives in Oslo, with the aim of promoting the study and knowledge of heraldry through meetings, lectures, excursions, and other dissemination methods, and additionally, to become an advisory body to resolve issues in matters of heraldry, flags, personal coats of arms, etc. Its first president was Dr. Philos Herman L. Løvenskiold.

Since then, these have remained the objectives of the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and its membership count has remained between 150 and 200 members, and it cooperates with the Nordic Heraldry Society, «Societas Heraldica Scandinavica».

The website's address is Heraldikk.no, its content is available in both Norwegian and English, and they work systematically to expand it and provide greater and better information to both its members and those interested in heraldry.

Blazon

Alex Maxwell Findlater described it in English, including its crest, in an article that was on their previous website under the title «About the society», as follows: «Gules issuant from base two battle-axes addorsed Argent shafted Or overall at the nombril point an escutcheon Or; for Crest between two axes of the arms a panache of three peacock feathers proper; Mantling Gules doubled Or». But given that «shafted» applies to weapons with a shaft and «hafted» to weapons with a handle, in the case of axes, I use «hafted» although both terms correspond to the Spanish «fustado».


Note how the axes are described as battle-axes, just as in the blazon of the Norwegian coat of arms, where its lion holds a battle-axe.

Coat of arms I attempted to interpret in the Norwegian style, all in flat tinctures, without Sable outlines, lighting or shading, and only with a simple rough finish.

Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain, emblem

Emblem, two two-handed swords in saltire Argent, hilted Or. Crest: A royal crown Or.

Emblema, dos mandobles en sotuer de plata, guarnecidos de oro. Timbrado de una corona real.

Emblem interpretation with: the two-handed swords placed along the diagonals of an imaginary rectangle, with a 5x6 proportion, like a shield, that is, with angles of 50.2°, between the axis of the two-handed swords and the imaginary base of the emblem, unlike the original emblem where the two-handed swords are on the diagonals of a square, therefore with angles of 45°; the two-handed swords and the closed royal crown are outlined in Sable, illuminated and the whole with a raised-stroke execution.

This emblem of the Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain has 2 two-handed swords that, unlike usual swords, due to their great length and weight, their fencing must be two-handed, hence their name.

The Spanish word «mandoble» comes from «mano doble», meaning «double hand», and refers to a sword wielded with both hands, the equivalent of the English «two-handed sword».

It is known that they are two-handed swords because the 2 that appear in the emblem have a crescent or crossguard in their iron. This crescent is called in Castilian «falsaguarda» and also «ganchos de parada» and its functionality is to protect from the slashes that the opponent could give close to the blade of the two-handed sword.

Painted by me with a metalwork finish, with an oval shape.

The Royal Spanish Academy was founded in 1713 on the initiative of Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, eighth Marquess of Villena and Duke of Escalona, with the aim of «fixing the words and vocabulary of the Castilian language in its greatest propriety, elegance, and purity». A year later, in 1714, its creation was approved by a Royal Decree of Philip V.

To symbolize its purpose, its emblem with a crucible to the fire and its motto «Limpia, fija y da esplendor» [Zamora Vicente, A.; 1999] were chosen by secret ballot. In some old versions of this emblem the motto can be read with the term «fixa» and a comma before the conjunction, that is, «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor».

This article is illustrated with my personal interpretation of this emblem of the Royal Spanish Academy, crested with a closed royal crown of 8 arches, of which the 5 frontal ones are completely visible.

In this, as in any of my works, I always consult its dictionaries, almost as much, as the most interesting and specific works on the subject of study.

Socioeconomic heraldry

Within socioeconomic heraldry, I classify the arms of all collectives not included in the previous categories, such as, for example, commercial societies, which may represent companies, their brands, and products, sports clubs and federations, associations, professional colleges, educational institutions, arms granted or assumed collectively, etc.

For example, the coats of arms of universities, both private and public, belong to this category, the former naturally and the latter considering their appropriate autonomy from state powers. In this way, the coat of arms of the IESE, as a business school, is an example of socioeconomic heraldry.

Also included are the coats of arms of associations, like the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and of companies, such as the arms of Alea Capital.

This category partially coincides with what [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119] refers to as «representative heraldry».

Azure, in base an open book Argent, in chief a sun in splendour Or.

Escudo de azur, un libro abierto de plata surmontado de un sol de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted with the following features: the base is semicircular (round); the field and charges are illuminated in the tinctures Azure and the metals Argent and Or, all outlined in Sable; unlike other variants the sun’s rays are not black sino de oro y el texto politécnico del libro es legible; y the whole finished with a rough-paper texture.

For my interpretation of this coat of arms, the text I have chosen to write on the pages of the open book is taken from [Cuena Bartolomé, J.; 1968; page 417, section 2, paragraphs 2o, 3o y 4o], which begins with the phrase «Se planteaba», a phrase very characteristic of José Cuena Bartolomé.

He elegido estos paragraphs porque son de José Cuena, 1937-1999, Professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), who was my teacher and PhD supervisor, because in them are combined hydraulics, the use of the computer, mathematical simulation models, economic cost considerations, data in the form of time series, the underground, the oceanic, irrigation,... and, therefore, they combine various branches of engineering and study topics from many of them, such as civil engineering, computer engineering, agricultural engineering,... Additionally, as this text is almost half a century old, it is technically historical, no longer at risk of obsolescence, a risk that more recent texts would indeed have.

Escudo de azur, un sotuer acompanado, en jefe y en punta, de dos cardos de nuridos todo de plata; un escusón de gules.

Coat of arms interpreted with the following characteristics: the shape of its shield is semicircular; the field is a flat tint of Azure; the two thistles and the saltire are illuminated of the metal Argent and outlined in Sable; the inescutcheon is illuminated of the colour Gules and, also, outlined in Sable; and the whole with a mother-of-pearl finish with a raised stroke.

Inescutcheon ~ escusón

The English term «inescutcheon» corresponds to our Spanish term «escusón». It is called an inescutcheon when there is only one and it is placed in the abyss of the shield.

Escutcheon ~ escudete

The English term «escutcheon» corresponds to our Spanish term «escudete». It is used when there are several, for example, 3. Although in this case there is only one, this is the term used in the official blazon of this coat of arms, as will be seen below.

Thistle ~ cardo

This coat of arms of The Heraldry Society of Scotland was registered and granted ~ «granted» on 7th September 1977, by «The Court of the Lord Lyon», which is the official college of arms for Scotland, lyon-court.com, with the following blazon: «Azure, on a saltire argent between two thistles slipped argent, one in chief and one in base, an escutcheon gules» and it contains 2 thistles, which is the national flower of Scotland, and a saltire Argent on an Azure field, like the flag of Scotland.

Slipped ~ nurido

The usual way of representing the thistle ~ «thistle» in Castile is with its roots visible, it is called «arrancado». In this case the stem is cut and its roots are not visible, it is called «slipped» ~ «nurido».

I hold the University Specialist degree in Real Estate Management and Administration, awarded by the Department of Private Law of the University of Burgos. These studies are structured over three academic years and are pursued online in combination with periods of traditional classes in the summers and on-site examinations during the winters. This was my first long-term online training experience.

University of Navarra

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules.

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules.

Emblema de azur, un San Miguel de plata, vestido y nimbado de oro, teniendo en su diestra una lanza de oro, con la punta hacia abajo y en su siniestra trae [ escudo gules, una cadena puesta en orla, en cruz y en sotuer de oro, cargada en el centro de una esmeralda de sinople, de Navarra ], sostenido por un dragón de sinople, armado, lampasado, fierezado y encendido de gules.

Emblem interpreted by me as follows: an oval shape with proportions 5x6, wider than the original; the field illuminated in Azure; its charges outlined in Sable and illuminated in the colours Gules and Vert and the metals Argent and Or; the Archangel Saint Michael vested in Or, unlike others who appear in Argent; his emerald simplified into an area enameled Vert; and the whole emblem has a lightly beaten metal finish.

Due to its special characteristics, the difficulty in complying with the first rule of heraldry concerning metals and colours, and out of prudence, I categorize it as an emblem rather than a shield.

In a relief of the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Estella, Saint Michael can be seen fighting a dragon that represents the devil, in a similar but mirrored arrangement to that of this emblem. In that relief, the Archangel Saint Michael bears a pre-heraldic shield with its umbo. According to [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1963], the umbo of the shield is a reinforcing element that is the predecessor of what would later become the pommelly carbuncle of the shield of the Kingdom of Navarre.
